title: Multicenter evaluation of the new automated Enzymun-Test Anti-HIV 1 + 2 + subtyp O.
abstract: An international multicenter study was performed to evaluate a new, automated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) third-generation antibody assay. The Enzymun-Test Anti-HIV 1 + 2 + Subtyp O showed 100% sensitivity and 99.8% specificity among 11,172 samples from hospitalized patients and blood donors. For early HIV antibody detection in seroconversion panels, Enzymun-Test showed a sensitivity equivalent to that of the Abbott Recomb. HIV-1/HIV-2 3rd Gen. assay.
